Description
Cort’s GA-MY Bevel sits at the heart of the Grand Regal line, marrying bold projection with easy-going comfort. A thin natural gloss finish lets the solid Sitka spruce top shimmer under light while keeping the grain open and lively. On the picking hand side, a bevelled armrest softens the body edge so your forearm rests naturally, making long rehearsals feel effortless. Sweep a chord and the voice leaps forward with cedar-like touch sensitivity yet holds the headroom and crisp overtone stack that only quality spruce can summon.
Flip the guitar and you meet a figured myrtlewood back, arched for extra strength and projection. Myrtle lives tonally between maple brightness and mahogany warmth, adding a glassy top-end sheen to the muscular mid punch. That arched contour acts like a shallow speaker cabinet, reflecting air toward the sound-hole and extending sustain. Hand scalloped spruce braces in a forward X pattern keep the top stiff where it needs support and feather-light everywhere else, so the dynamics track every nuance of palm-mute or fingertip.
A satin-finished mahogany neck slips into the body at the fourteenth fret with a tight dovetail joint. The profile is a comfortable C that fills the hand without excess girth, and the 25.5-inch scale length holds tension firm enough for piano-like clarity. Ovangkol forms both fingerboard and bridge, tapping into the fast attack and oily sustain normally associated with rosewood while adding a subtle shimmer of its own. Bone at the nut and saddle, paired with ebony bridge pins, completes an all-organic energy path from string to soundboard.
When the room calls for volume, an L R Baggs EAS-VTC system translates the guitar’s natural character straight to the desk. The undersaddle element captures sparkle and snap, while a body-mounted transducer fills in woodiness and low-end bloom. Two small wheels for volume and tone sit just inside the sound-hole, preserving the clean rim lines and keeping control changes within fingertip reach. Matching die-cast tuners with black metal buttons lock in pitch, and a UV-cured gloss finish guards the wood while letting it breathe and shift with the seasons.
